I just loaded this beta version 4.18 and now I get loud crackling from the speaker when tuning though the APF filter, also, the audio goes away. I uploaded the firmware though the P3 twice, once power on P3 and the second time power off with the same results. I will next try loading the firmware directly into the K3. If I have the same result, I will then revert back to the previous version, beta 4.17, which worked fine including the power out.
